There are people who can
walk away from you.
And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk
away from you:
let them walk.
I don't want you to try to talk another person into
staying with you,
loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying
attached to you. I mean hang up the phone.
When people can walk away from you let them walk.
Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.
The bible said that, they came out from us that it might be made manifest
that they were not for us. For had they been of us, no doubt they would
have continued with
us. [1 John 2:19]
People leave you because they are not joined to you.
And if they are not joined to you, you can't make them stay.
Let them go.
And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person it just
means
that their part in the story is over. And you've got
to know when people's
part in your story is over so that you don't keep trying to raise the
dead.
You've got to know when it's dead.
You've got to know when it's over. Let me tell you
something. I've got
the gift of good-bye. It's the tenth spiritual gift, I believe in
good-bye. It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm
faithful, and I know
whatever God means for me to have He'll give it to me.
And if it takes
too much sweat I don't need it. Stop begging people to stay.
Let them go!!
